This book shares my personal knowledge of tennis. I am an amateur
player. I started late, at the age of fifty-four. Sometimes I win,
sometimes I lose, but I always understand the game. It was
impossible without knowledge. Years ago my frustration in skiing
came to an end due to a picture that compared skiing to bicycle
riding* It was all I needed for skiing technique to become natural
to me and to become an advanced skier in a matter of days. The
necessity to find the "bicycle" of tennis to really start playing
was obvious to me. My background made it possible. Actually, it was
two "bicycles" two elements that constitute a powerful tennis
stroke. Once found, my game changed from end to end. Implementing
these two elements in a stroke and practicing them, rather than
chasing a ball, became a major part of my training. Hitting the
ball became a result of a well-designed tennis stroke. Identifying
and understanding elements of a tennis stroke require knowledge in
physics. Sharing this knowledge in a simple language is all this
book is about: illustration of two elements that constitute every
powerful tennis stroke and then presenting the forehand, backhand,
and service as a combination of these two. *The Anatomy of Skiing

This is a special era in the history of tennis. The physicality and
skill, as well as the commercial and public interest, have hit
levels not seen before. At the heart of the game's growing appeal
are four players: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and
Andy Murray. Never in the history of the game have so few players
dominated for so long and it is their rivalry that makes this the
'Golden Age of Tennis'. However, in 2013, the dominance of the Big
Four came under sustained pressure and a new era beckoned. 'Break
Point' chronicles how the old guard met the challenge of the hungry
young contenders determined to break their stranglehold on the
Tour, from the genteel lawns of Wimbledon to the raucous bleachers
of Flushing Meadows, and all points in between.

Tennis is a fun, fast-paced sport that is a great way to stay in
shape, as well as to spend time with friends and family. It is
also, however, a relatively complicated game with it's own set of
rules and regulations, terms to be defined, equipment needed and so
on. Simply grabbing a tennis racquet and hitting the clay court are
not even close to enough to prepare you for playing tennis. Tennis
Beginners Guide, provides an accessible introduction to the basics
of the game of tennis. The guide helps to define all the terms
related to equipment, the court, hits, rules of the game, and more.
It then goes on to detail the mindset of the successful tennis
player, discussing the psychology of tennis and how to use it to
your advantage. The guide begins by laying out the basic terms that
tennis players will need to familiarize themselves with if they are
to get the most out of their game. Players will need to understand
the following terms: Baseline Service line Alleys The basic tennis
strokes are laid out and explained: Ground strokes Volley Service
Drive Stop Volley Chop Half volley/trap shot Smash Lob The guide
then discusses different ball spins to begin to familiarize you
with the different types of shots you will need to learn. The type
of spin you put on the ball will determine not only its velocity,
but the trajectory of the ball as well. This is where you can best
control your shot. The tennis court itself must be to the standards
defined for professional tennis courts. The guide discusses what
makes an tennis court appropriately sized and laid out for
traditional tennis play. With all the "nuts and bolts" defined, the
Tennis Beginners Guide begins to get into the "nitty gritty" of
theory of how to play tennis. A basic outline for beginners shots
is provided. This section also provides a number of key hints and
tips that all beginning tennis players need to remember. Keeping
your eye on the ball, not the racquet, for example, is one of the
biggest and hardest parts of tennis to learn. The guide then goes
on to discuss how to control your strokes and manage the game. This
is where different ways of actually gripping the racquet are
discussed. It also goes over beginners strokes, how they are used
and when best used. Court position is also discussed. Next, the
guide touches on the psychology of tennis. It is a mind game as
much as a physical one. Momentum is a huge psychological element. A
few good serves or volleys from your opponent can make you begin to
make mistakes as you get flustered trying to counter their moves.
The same goes for your opponent. The guide discusses how to stay
calm and to use this psychology to your advantage against your
opponent. The psychology is different depending on the type of game
played. The guide discusses the psychology of match play, as well
as doubles matches. It also discusses the psychology of the
physical nature of the game. Each type of game must be approached
differently and the guide provides a detailed explanation of the
ins and outs of each type of match play. While tennis is great fun
and a great way to keep active, you are likely to be disappointed
at your performance if you grab a racquet and hit the court. Tennis
is a complex sport that requires a in depth understanding of the
rules and it takes time to perfect each element of the game. And
while tennis is most definitely a physical sport, it is also a
mental one as well. Tennis Beginners Guide provides all the
information you need to get started playing tennis properly, armed
with all the information you need to start improving your game.
A look at the game of tennis from a sport psychology angle using
doubles as the vehicle to describe proactive versus reactive
tennis.
